On this verse

And the fourth lot came out to Issachar,.... The fourth of the seven drawn at Shiloh: for the children of Issachar, according to their families: among whom the inheritance that came to them by the lot was divided, according to the number of them.

John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)reformed

Related commentary

The fourth lot came out to Issachar - It is remarkable, that though Issachar was the eldest brother, yet the lot of Zebulun was drawn before his lot; and this is the order in which Jacob himself mentions them, Gen 49:13, Gen 49:14, though no reason appears, either here or in the place above, why this preference should be given to the younger; but that the apparently fortuitous lot should have distinguished them just as the prophetic Jacob did, is peculiarly remarkable.

Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832evangelical
